So just to make sure I understand this correctly...Governor Reynolds is refusing to shut down bars in metro areas while lawsuits are being filed by school districts for the state's refusal to allow them to go to 100% online classes to start the school year.
Seems brilliant if you ask me, can't imagine what could go wrong.

Go herd immunity. Get it over now and know you are most likely good for the season and a run!

Data: 1,000 deaths from Covid 19 per day in the US.
European countries, with a total population equivalent to the US, 57 deaths per day.
Iowa leads the nation in infections per day. No formal response from government officials, except for one who said “Infection numbers are inflated because nurses and doctors, etc. get paid more for Covid 19 patient treatments.”

I think the social distancing at the game itself could work, but I think the bigger problem is how do you maintain social distancing while arriving at and going into the stadium. Masks get hot and suck to wear in the heat so I think another issue is going to be for those in the stands that don't believe in wearing masks, what safeguards or policies can be put in place to see to it that they are wearing their masks while exiting the stadium? Obviously they can be asked to leave or removed if they refuse to wear it entering the game, but that doesn't have the same pull once the final whistle blows.

My daughter goes to Missouri S and T. This is one of THE best engineering schools in the nation, ranked 4th one spot ahead of MIT.
They expelled 40 students because they went to an off campus party.
Shit just got real.
